There are some significant differences between the
requirements in the IC and Fingerprint Orders
and those in the proposed Part 37 rules

Security Plan Establish, implement, and maintain a
security program if the licensee possesses an aggregated quantity of Category 1 or 2 radioactive material
Develop security program if the licensee is authorized to possess at least a Category 2 quantity

Reviewing Official Reviewing officials are subject
to an access authorization program.
Reviewing officials are required to have unescorted access to material, and access to Safeguards Information (SGI) if the licensee possesses such information.

In addition to previous requirements in IC and Fingerprint orders, background investigation would include:
Verification of true identity Military history verification Credit history evaluation Criminal history review Character and reputation determination
Trustworthiness & Reliability

As Proposed by the Agency…

As Revised by the Working Group…

As Published in Final Form…

As Implemented by Licensees…
![Page 21: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What Was Really Needed !!!
![Page 22: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The requirements of the IC and Fingerprint Orders were “automatically” incorporated into the draft Issued as Orders without a public comment period Became “de facto” rules Now generally accepted as the way things will be
New and additional requirements became the subject of the vast majority of the comments received
Much of the new requirements were adopted and adapted from power plant and fuel-cycle facility rules
As Proposed by the Agency…
![Page 23: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Membership of Working Groups heavily weighted with NRC representatives
Agreement States have approximately 2/3 of all radioactive materials licenses
Agreement States need to make up a larger portion of Working Group membership
To do that, we need PARTCIPATION
As Revised by the Working Group…
![Page 24: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Agreement States were offered the opportunity to comment on the pre-publication version of draft Part 37
Some small changes were made as a result prior to publication in the Federal Register
Less than 15 of the Agreement States took the time to comment individually
Pre-publication comments by Agreement States and OAS were NOT included in the docketed comments after publication
As Issued for Public Comment…
![Page 25: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The NRC must still rule on any proposed changes to the draft rules as published
Your opinions, as individual states and collectively as an organization, will continue to matter
We are the ones who must adopt the final version of the Part 37 rules, so we must be sure they are workable
As Published in Final Form…
![Page 26: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
As originally proposed, Part 37 would apply to 20-25% more licensees than the Increased Controls and Fingerprint Orders
The proposed change from radioactive materials “actually possessed” to “authorized to possess” will capture those licensees who are not currently aggregating or collocating sources, as well as some new licensees
As Implemented by Licensees…
![Page 27: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A comprehensive evaluation of the existing IC and Fingerprint Order requirements to ensure those were adequate, complete, enforceable, and working
Identification of gaps or weaknesses that needed to be corrected or improved
Inclusion of Agreement State input into the draft “enhanced” security rules before they were presented as the proposed rules
What Was Really Needed !!!
![Page 28: Rulemaking as Seen Through the Eyes of Part 37](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568164ea550346895dd7561f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
YouYour knowledge and expertise - and especially
that of your experienced field staff - to ensure that rules make sense and will work
WeRecognize that no one person, state, or group
has all the answers, that we all need be involved and to work together to make sure we are heard
ThemIt is not us against them… it is a partnership…
us with them.
What IS Really Needed ???
